11 students of Olabisi Onabanjo University yesterday met their untimely death as they were coming to Lagos. A truck driver was said to have been the cause of the ghastly accident on the Sagamu-Benin express way to Lagos. The truck who was passing one way had a head-on-collision with their vehicle killing all of them including the bus driver.
The truck has now been towed away but the driver has been on the run. See a full pic of the accident below if you have the mind.
Pandemonium enveloped the premises of the Ade Maternity Home, Sagamu, Ogun State on Saturday as scores of grieving students of the Olabisi Onabanjo University forcefully removed the corpses of their colleagues who were killed in a crash the previous day from the hospital’s morgue.
